Even if there are network secure fences between some of the five Solaris servers, it seems like at most you would need to set up 5 independent grid controls.
I mention secure fences only because of your email address and the statement that discovery was alleged to have previously failed.
In terms of counting things for humans to manage, 600 is error prone simply by head count. Five seems a lot more reasonable and if there are security ring threshold issues one each may be the way to go. If you have a machine that hosts databases of less stringent availability requirements, having a pioneer run for a while after a raft of patches before you do the more critical systems may also be useful.

600 databases are not that many from a grid control or cloud control perspective . I'm wondering why the comment was made . if you have ovm running you can down the EM templates and run a discovery . I have had over 1200 databases being monitored usif em11g grid control where the oms and repo was running on a tiny SPARC v880 with not many issues
